There is a large gap between the engineering course in tensor algebra on the one hand and the treatment of linear transformations within classical linear algebra on the other hand. The aim of this modern textbook is to bridge this gap by means of the consequent and fundamental exposition. The book primarily addresses engineering students with some... more...

The fun and easy way to learn pre-calculus Getting ready for calculus but still feel a bit confused? Haveno fear. Pre-Calculus For Dummies is an un-intimidating,hands-on guide that walks you through all the essential topics,from absolute value and quadratic equations to logarithms andexponential functions to trig identities and matrix operations.... more...

Special numerical techniques are already needed to deal with nxn matrices for large n. Tensor data are of size nxnx ...xn=n^d, where n^d exceeds the computer memory by far. They appear for problems of high spatial dimensions. Since standard methods fail, a particular tensor calculus is needed to treat such problems. The monograph describes the methods... more...

Many known concepts which are scattered in various books are brought together in a rigorous, logical way
Chapter 7 contains discussion on extrinsic curvature which is more extensive than in any other book available
Tensor analysis is further explained in the book, touching on general differential manifolds, manifolds with connections and manifolds... more...
